Usually we start the dive on the sand plateau on the NE. If you take the reef on the right shoulder you will find big black corals in the depth of 25 m followed by some small overhangs with glass fish & cleaner shrimps. There is as well a good chance to spot some nice nudibranches, scorpion fish and stone fish. The best chance to find turtles is in the shallow area on the south side or in the coral garden on the north of the Giri. Experienced divers could try to cross to the little thila on the east side of the giri to explore big schools of fish.
